It is a commonly held belief within the abortion industry that the historic Dobbs U.S. Supreme Court decision last year has led to a surge in pro-abortion sentiment and a desire to expand abortion access. However, numerous national polls have shown that the majority of people oppose most abortions.
It is written on the human heart to stand squarely against the taking of an innocent, unrepeatable human life. Abortion is an act that is inherently violent and results in the loss of a baby, which can be a difficult experience for the woman involved.
The abortion industry and its allies have a great deal of financial resources at their disposal, which they use to mount campaigns with the aim of persuading voters of things that may not be entirely accurate. When faced with a significant financial disadvantage, it can be challenging for the pro-life side to counter the many misconceptions about the so-called “right to abortion.”
The pro-abortion movement has a tendency to engage in what might be called “proxy fights” with advocates for life. This is done in order to create a scenario in which, through its vast financial reserves, it can claim victory in electoral contests, particularly for state Supreme Courts. It would be beneficial for news stories to address the question of how a judge can claim to be fair and impartial when they have been endorsed by the abortion industry.
This state of affairs has led many candidates to avoid discussing the issue of abortion altogether, even to the point of being reluctant to express support for pregnant women seeking alternatives to abortion. This is a missed opportunity to provide vital services to mothers and their children.
The pro-life brand is not inherently problematic; abortion is. We need to be clear and consistent in explaining the long-term consequences of abortion to children, women, families, and our society.
